Major success in corporate America has historically been defined by – and available to – a select few. Despite decades of effort, women and other non-traditional candidates have had a tough time climbing to the top and an even more difficult time staying there. We explore their paths to success, the phenomenon of the Glass Cliff which endangers their tenure, and the psychological impact of sometimes losing it all. The show envisions what sustainable, diverse leadership in the workplace, and beyond, might look like.
